According to the French newspaper L’Équipe, in addition to Di María, another PSG player was robbed during the match. According to French media, it would be the parents of captain Marquinhos
The French top club eventually lost the game with relegation candidate Nantes 2-1 and thus missed the chance to become the leader. Lille, the club of defender Sven Botman, has three points more.
Not unique
Burglary into players’ homes during matches has long been a serious problem in France. In the last 18 months, PSG players Sergio Rico, Thiago Silva (now Chelsea), Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting (now Bayern Munich), among others, have been victims of criminals.
Also Memphis Depay faced criminals. In September 2018, it turned out that his house had been broken into after the duel with OGC Nice. In addition, 1.5 million euros worth of things would have been stolen.
Nor are the robberies new. In 1977 Johan Cruijff’s house in Barcelona was raided. For Cruijff, that would have been the main reason not to go to the World Championship in Argentina in 1978. He did not want to leave his family alone for so long.
